Benefits of drinking alkaline water and reflux disease

Reflux affects approximately 20 percent of the United States population weekly. Pepsin, which is the enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides, is produced in the stomach, and is one of the main digestive enzymes, is fundamental to the mechanism in reflux disease. Studies were preformed to determine whether human pepsin was inactivated by pH 8.8 alkaline water. The results from the testing showed that the alkaline water instantly denatures pepsin. In addition, it has good acid – buffering capacity making the consumption of alkaline water beneficial to people suffering from reflux disease. These results will vary person to person and showed that conventional drinking water was not as beneficial as the alkaline water, like our True Water Bar.
